The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class is unknown (incertae sedis), and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any order. The genus was circumscribed by Augusto Chaves Batista in Publ. Inst. Micol. Univ. Recife vol.291: 11 in 1960. The genus name of Yamamotoa is in honour of Wataro Yamamoto, who was a Japanese botanist (Mycology). He worked at the Hyogo University for Agriculture. In 1934, he wrote 'Cercospora from Formosa'.

Penicillium brasilianum is a fungus species of the genus of Penicillium. Penicillium brasilianum produces the compounds isoroquefortine C, griseofulvin, ergosterol peroxide, 3β-hydroxy-(22E,24R)-ergosta-5,8,22-trien-7-one, cerevisterol, (22E,24R)-6β-methoxyergosta-7,22-diene-3β,5α-diol.

Dennisiella is a genus of fungi in the family Coccodiniaceae. It has 9 species. The genus was circumscribed by mycologists Augusto Chaves Batista and Raffaele Ciferri in 1962, with Dennisiella babingtonii designated as the type species. The generic name honours British mycologist R. W. G. Dennis. Fungi in this genus are epifoliar; that is, they live on living plant surfaces, particularly leaves.

Ceramothyrium is a genus of ascomycete fungi in the family Chaetothyriaceae. In 2024, Ceramothyrium ryukyuense was described from Okinawa Island, Japan, as the first lichen-forming member of Ceramothyrium – and the first confirmed lichenised lineage in the family Chaetothyriaceae – forming a thin, leaf-dwelling thallus with a Trentepohliales green-algal photobiont partner.

Caprettia is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Monoblastiaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Augusto Chaves Batista and Heraldo da Silva Maia in 1965, with Caprettia amazonensis assigned as the type species. The genus name of Caprettia is in honour of Corrado Capretti (1915–1960), an Italian botanist and professor at University of the Andes (Venezuela) in 1956.

Aspergillus heteromorphus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. A. heteromorphus belongs to the group of black Aspergilli which are important industrial workhorses. A. heteromorphus belongs to the Nigri section. The species was first described in 1957. The species has been found in Brazil. It has been isolated from both rice straws, wheat straws, and sugarcane bagasse. This species can produce sclerotia and some mid-polar indole compounds. It produces a series of other not well-characterized exometabolites. The genome of A. heteromorphus was sequenced and published in 2014 as part

Aspergillus clavatonanicus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Clavati section. The species was first described in 1955. A. clavatonanicus has been reported to produce antafumicins, glyanthrypine, kotanins, tryptoquivalines, and tryptoquivalones.

Aderkomyces is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. Originally established in 1961 for a single species from Brazil, the genus was later expanded to include many species previously classified in the related genus Tricharia, all sharing distinctive white bristle-like structures and flattened fruiting bodies. Recent molecular studies suggest that Aderkomyces as currently defined may not represent a natural evolutionary group, leading to ongoing reclassification of many species into other genera.
